The Idaho pea is a wild forage plnt, native of the Kocky mountain regions, anil therefore a semi m id bush of much value to agriculture. It has been cultivated to a limited BXtBBVt throughout the mountain state for the paat quarter of a century, yielding e. client crops of feed for horses, cattle, sheep and poultry. Some enterprising seedsmen Lave recently introduced the pea aa a novelty, giving it tarious names and selling the seed at high prices as domestic or imported Ooffea berries. My experiments in growing this plant have been highly satisfactory and hatefully demonstrated that the pea is all the most enthusiastic adtertisers claim as a forage plant, stock feed and coffee substitute. The plant glow similar to alfalfa, stooling out from the roots and sending up a dozen or more branches to a height of two or three feet. Kvery item is tilled with leaven, branching out at intervals of about tw o inches and producing I pod at the base of each. An ordinary BiaM will produce from 100 to l.Ouo pe-ds, containing from one to three peas. The pe: when shelled resemble the little white Mpanish peanut, and taste like a raw beut. When nicely browned and ground as coffee the peas make an excellent bever.fre. having a delicious nutty flavor, and much appreciated by old coffee drinkers. 1 like the pea coffee better than the commercial cereal products or package coffees.
